Our Leadership

Everyday people doing amazing things, every day.


We are Central Alaskan Yup’ik. The meaning for Yup’ik is translated as “real people”.

Our people not only believe in our purpose but are also excited to be a part of our unique team. We look for passion, a positive attitude, emotional intelligence, and high integrity in all our prospective employees.

Our formula for success is simple — everyday people do great things— for our customers, our culture, and our ability to attract other great people.
